I just completed a 2650 mile thru hike of the Pacific Crest Trail with this pack and I loved it! At first, I thought the pack was too heavy (3.10 pounds) and the material of the pack too burly for light and fast backpacking. About a week or two into the trip I was glad this was the pack i was carrying. My load weighed anywhere from 19-37 pounds depending on how much food and water I had with me. The suspension system on this pack really made the weight easy to carry. My back and shoulders never hurt. At the end of 5 months hiking the pack is in great shape and I could probably use it for another Thru hike of the CDT. Also---love the green color! I recomend getting the ospery rain cover and water bladder. My only cons about this pack---I felt the sleeping bag compartment was not needed and some sleepingpad straps would have been useful. All in all---an exceptional peice of gear.

I don't know if I'm really qualified to review this pack. I'm starting again for the first time since I was 10, 50 years ago. Back then I had adult supervision, so I'm not very well versed in grownup decisions. However, I do remember pack technology back then, and this is SUPER! I've loaded it up with 25 lbs, which is close to all I will be carrying, and it feels like nothing. I have problems with sacroiliitis (lower back pain) and my first 5-mile test hike around the neighborhood didn't aggravate it at all! So far the only complaint I have is that I'd have liked quick-release buckles on the removable top-hat. You have to completely unthread them to get it off. But that's small stuff I can easily modify myself.

I took this pack on its first hikes on the South Island of New Zealand. Was a little nervous since I had not hiked with it before. Turns out this pack is a keeper. It fit like a charm. When fully packed (including hydration system) the suspension makes it feel as if you are barely carrying anything. Love the removable top compartment. Great work Osprey on a well designed, woman friendly pack!

This was my very first Osprey backpack! Before the Aura AG, I couldn't find a pack that would fit me comfortably and stay on my hips since I have such a small frame. I would constantly feel like my pants were falling down as my pack would slide off my hips. That all changed when I went on my first extended backpacking trip with my new Aura AG 50! When I first put it on my back it was super comfortable and felt like my pack was giving me a hug. We started up the trail with a pretty decent incline and I could tell that that all the weight was situated where it should be, on my hips! When we would stop and take breaks I finally didn't feel like I needed to take my pack off every time to give my shoulders a break. This is an absolutely great pack with a well thought out design! I'm so excited to go on even more backpacking trips with it this summer!
